Concrete, no clichés — what works with recruiters.
UK installation businesses cannot offer work without Gas Safe or F-Gas; mention them in your profile. For heat pumps specifically: MCS accreditation or manufacturer training (Worcester Bosch, Vaillant) is worth listing. Also state your driving licence (a full UK licence is usually required for service engineers).
Employers like British Gas, OVO Energy and E.ON judge engineers partly on customer feedback. Have a score from your service-management system? Mention it. No score? List zero-accident years, on-time completion rate or First-Time-Fix percentage.
The energy transition and gas-boiler phase-out make heat-pump installation the growth niche in the UK. If you have experience or training, write it explicitly. Recruiters at Octopus Energy, British Gas and Mitsubishi Electric are actively looking for this.
